Duelund 12AWG speaker wire sheathing

I bought four 2 meter runs of Duelund Wire 12awg (DCA12GA)Tin Plated Hook-up Wire. I am using bare wire connections for the amp and speakers. I would like any recommendations on sheathing material/tubing to run them parallel so it looks cleaner. Any reason not to have them touching? Any recommendations on material to use? I would also look any impressions of those who have used Duelund 12AWG.

I use 12 gauge Tempo Electric solid core silver. The only insulation is Teflon tubing, and they sound magnificent.

I have used heat shrink at the ends and that's all I have needed. You can see my cables in virtual systems.  it's a loose twist on the Duelund since I didn't want any abrasion on the cloth wrap.

Use some 3/8 or 1/2" expendable flexible sleeving from Parts Express. Then use some shrink tubing on the ends.

Thanks all for the helpful advice. I will look into the heat shrink for now.
Any specific advice on braiding (technique and tightness)?
I may look to attach spades at some point. Is this recommended or discouraged?

On and off I use the Duelund 16 ga as SC I made these with a 4 twist per foot
Construction to keep together with BfA banannas. I like the convenience of connection.
No coverings and shrink just on the ends. Looks fine.
